The purpose of this paper is to investigate the tendency of the research on the issue of ‘comfort women’ in Korea. The issue of ‘comfort women’ has started to be studied since 1990s. Before 1990s was no proper study on the issue even though some literary works on the period under the rule of Japanese Imperialism, such as novels or essays, briefly mentioned it. In 1980s, the labor movement and the feminist movement started to develop along with the vigorous pro-democracy movement, which brought up the issue of ‘comfort women’ as civic movements in the late 1980s. Studies on the issue as well as the feminist movement were also vitalized in 1990s, as a result of
the open testimonies from the victims of ‘comfort women’ including Ms. Kim Hak-Sun.
Early studies concentrated on defining the detailed facts around the issue, starting from recording testimonies in the fields of gender study and sociology. The multi-stratal characteristics of the issue of ‘comfort women’, including the problems around ‘gender’ and ‘nation’ left the studies in this area with divergent perspectives. Along with the studies, another research was conducted on the notion of ‘comfort women’, the historic backgrounds, Japanese policies, and the actual realities of the ‘comfort women’ and the brothels run by Japanese military. In 2000, The Women’s International War Crimes Tribunal on Japan’s Military Sexual Slavery was held in Tokyo, which
made the research more serious through the topic of overcoming the actual reality. The issue of ‘comfort women’, which was discussed mainly in gender study and sociology, now enlarges its area into history, politics, medicine, education, and cultural anthropology.
This paper purports to examine the trend of the studies on ‘comfort women’ in Korea, especially the ones after 1990s.
